Description
IMPORTANT SHEET-METAL BIPLANE, Germany, CIRCA 1930, JNF (Josef Neuhierl, Fürth) Aircraft made from polychrome lithographed sheet metal, with red, yellow and cream decoration. The fuselage features a passenger cabin with windows, complemented by richly decorated wings and tail. Mechanical model fitted with a clockwork mechanism: the aeroplane rolls along the ground and the propeller turns. It is also fitted with an upper attachment for hanging. Dimensions: approx. 19 x 62 x 60 cm. As is This significant JNF production stands out for its large size and the remarkable quality of its lithography, whose colours and design are still particularly well preserved after nearly 90 years. The sheet metal shows very few, if any, visible signs of rust. Founded by Josef Neuhierl in Fürth, JNF was one of Germany’s renowned manufacturers of mechanical tinplate toys, alongside Märklin, Carette and Bing. The company was particularly known for its large-scale toys, of which this imposing aeroplane is a fine example.
